>From: address@hidden >Subject: SAL Update >Organization: . >Keywords: 199705181552.JAA24734 Hi SAL Team, > SAL (Scientific Applications on Linux, http://SAL.KachinaTech.COM) > has an entry of your software NetCDF at > http://SAL.KachinaTech.COM/D/2/NETCDF.html > Before the official release in early June, we send this message to > all software developers in SAL database to acquire any necessary update. > > We would like our page of your software offers accurate and up-to-date > information to the Linux/Unix community. Hence we made a template page > (http://SAL.KachinaTech.COM/.template.html) which hopefully would help > you understand the terminology used in the SAL pages. > If there is no addition/modification needed in the page of your software, > you could simply do nothing. If your software are among those recently > added items in SAL, we encourage you to have a look of the page of your > software and then let us know any changes needed. For example: > Is the description covers most keywords associated with the software? > (since many SAL users take advantages of SAL's search engine) > How about adding some Screen Shot images or a Logo/Icon image? > Please look at http://SAL.KachinaTech.COM/.template.html for more detail. > > SAL belongs to all Linux/Unix users, and we hope it will make some > contribution to encourage people to use/port software on Linux/Unix > platforms. We certainly appreciate you made your software available to > Linux community. > > SAL Team > http://SAL.KachinaTech.COM I've appended an updated web page. Please let me know if you need any more information. --Russ _____________________________________________________________________ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>SAL- Scientific Data Processing & Visualization - Libraries - NetCDF </TITLE> <META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="Mozilla/3.01Gold (X11; I; SunOS 5.5 sun4m) [Netscape]"> </HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" BACKGROUND="salbg1.gif"> <TABLE CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 > <TR> <TD><A HREF="../../"><IMG SRC="salb0at.gif" ALT="SAL Home" BORDER=0 HEIGHT=82 WIDTH=101></A></TD> <TD><A HREF="../"><IMG SRC="salb01-D.gif" ALT="DATA" BORDER=0 HEIGHT=82 WIDTH=126></A></TD> <TD><A HREF="./"><IMG SRC="salb02-D2.gif" ALT="Libraries" BORDER=0 HEIGHT=82 WIDTH=363></A></TD> </TR> </TABLE> <TABLE CELLSPACING=10 CELLPADDING=20 > <TR> <TD bgcolor=#eeeeee><B><FONT SIZE=+1>NetCDF</FONT></B> <P>NetCDF (Network Common Data Form) is a data model for array-oriented scientific data access, a package of freely available software that implements the data model, and a machine-independent data format. NetCDF supports the creation, manipulation, and sharing of scientific data sets that are self-describing, portable, directly accessible, and appendable. Interfaces are supported for use from C, Fortran, C++, and perl, and a Java implementation will be available soon.</P> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD bgcolor=#eeeeee><B>Current Version:</B> 3.3 <P><B>Copyright Type:</B> <a href="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/copyright.html";>Freely available</a> </P> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD bgcolor=#eeeeee><B>Home Site:</B> <DD><A HREF="http://unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/index.html";>http://unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/index.html</A> </DD> <P><B>Source Code Availability:</B> Yes </P> <P><B>Available Binary Packages:</B> <BR> </P> <UL> <LI>Debian Package: Yes, <A HREF="http://www.debian.org/Packages/dist/math/";>http://www.debian.org/Packages/dist/math/</A> </LI> <LI>RedHat RPM Package: No </LI> <LI>Other Packages: No </LI> </UL> <P><B>Targeted Platforms:</B> </P> <DD>SunOS, BSDI, AIX, HP-UX, Unicos, Linux, Digital Unix, IRIX, Open VMS, Windows NT. </DD> <DD>See <A HREF="http://unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/faq.html#platforms";>http://unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/faq.html#platforms</A> </DD> <P><B>Software/Hardware Requirements:</B> </P> <DD>None </DD> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD bgcolor=#eeeeee><B>Other Links:</B> <DD><A HREF="ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/";>ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/</A> (FTP site) </DD> <DD><A HREF="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/software.html";> http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/software.html</A> (freely available and commercial software for manipulating or displaying netCDF data) </DD> <DD><A HREF="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/contrib.html"; TARGET="_top">http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/contrib.html</A> (collection of files of freely available, user-contributed software and documentation related to the netCDF)</DD> <P> </P> <P><B>Mailing Lists/USENET News Groups:</B> </P> <DD>Mailing List: <A HREF="http://unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/mailing-lists.html";>http://unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/mailing-lists.html</A> </DD> <DD>Mailing List Arvhive: <A HREF="http://unidata.ucar.edu/glimpsedocs/ghnetcdfgroup.html";>http://unidata.ucar.edu/glimpsedocs/ghnetcdfgroup.html</A> </DD> <P><B>User Comments:</B> </P> <UL> <LI>None </LI> </UL> <P><B>See A Screen Shot?</B> (Not Yet) </P> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <P>| <A HREF="../../">SAL Home</A> | <A HREF="../">Scientific Data Processing & Visualization</A> | <A HREF="../2/">Libraries</A> | <HR><IMG SRC="110pixel.gif" HEIGHT=1 WIDTH=110><FONT SIZE=-1>Comments? <I><A HREF="mailto:address@hidden";>address@hidden</A></I> <BR> <IMG SRC="110pixel.gif" HEIGHT=1 WIDTH=110>Copyright © 1995-1997 by <A HREF="http://www.KachinaTech.COM/~hjjou";>Herng-Jeng Jou</A> <BR> <IMG SRC="110pixel.gif" HEIGHT=1 WIDTH=110>Copyright © 1997 by <A HREF="http://www.KachinaTech.COM";>Kachina Technologies, Inc.</A> <BR> <IMG SRC="110pixel.gif" HEIGHT=1 WIDTH=110>All rights reserved. </FONT></P> </BODY> </HTML>
